Listen to a New Slayer Song Right Now!!!!

Here it is. A new Slayer song!

They performed it live last night at the Revolver Golden Gods awards in LA during a three-song surprise set.

Does that excite you? Do you care that it’s only half of the band members you’ve grown to love, or is it enough that it sounds  like Slayer? You be the judge! Presented without further comment:

Slayer also announced a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast to release a new album in early 2015, yet to be recorded, and their first away from long-time producer Rick Rubin. Sez the band:

Rick has played a huge role in our career, we’ve made some great albums with him,” said Slayer’s Tom Araya.  “But today is a new day, record companies don’t play the kind of role they once did, and we really like the idea of going out on our own, connecting directly with our fans, and Nuclear Blast is fired up about taking on that challenge with us.”

Alright then! Let’s see what they’ve got.
